Response of cereals to intercropping with non‐food crops in tropical and subtropical regions: A meta‐analysis

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Intercropping cereals with non‐food intercrops (NFICs) provides a means to enhance cereal productivity while providing additional benefits such as improved soil health or forage production. We conducted a meta‐analysis to investigate the effect of NFICs on cereal yields, cereal nitrogen uptake, and striga (Striga spp.) infestation, using 874 ...

Dry Bean Cocoa Production in Papua New Guinea: Do IPDM Inputs Pay Off?

Asia &the Pacific Policy Studies, Volume 13, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Cocoa is Papua New Guineaʼs (PNG) third‐largest agricultural export, supporting about two million smallholder farmers. Despite integrated pest and disease management (IPDM) systems to improve yields, adoption remains low. We surveyed two cocoa‐growing households—one near Balima (Madang Province) and the other near Manetai (Bougainville)—and ...

Afforestation of tropical savannas has mixed consequences for bird communities

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Moving beyond the prevailing binary perception of savanna afforestation being either ‘good’ or ‘bad’ for native biodiversity, our data suggests that plantations on the rainfall extremes should be viewed as important supplementary habitats for biodiversity.

Identification of galactogogues in Gliricidia maculata

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2019
Abstract Galactogogues are substances used by periparturient dairy cows for boosting milk production and preventing negative energy balance. A long-term use of commercial galactogogues has a toxic effect to normal health status of both human and animals. The study was conducted to identify herbal galactogogues from bioactive compounds of

Quality of Forage Cactus Silage with the Addition of Hay from Forages Adapted to the Semiarid Region

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study investigated the effects of including hays from different forages adapted to the semiarid region on the forage cactus (Opuntia fícus‐indica (L.) Mill) silage quality. A completely randomized design, with five treatments was used: pure forage cactus and forage cactus associated with 30% hay from gliricidia (Gliricidia sepium), pornunça ...

Agronomic Traits, Physiological Parameters, Chemical Composition, and In Vitro Digestibility of Urochloa Brizantha Cv. Piatã, Megathyrsus Maximus Cv. Zuri and Megathyrsus Maximus Cv. Tamani in Silvopastoral Systems

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
Urochloa species are widely used in silvopastoral systems (SPS), but production losses highlight the need for more productive forages. This study evaluated agronomic, physiological, chemical composition, and in vitro digestibility responses of Urochloa brizantha cv. Piatã and Megathyrsus maximus cvs.

Integrated Systems Under No‐Tillage, and Improved Pastures: One Pathway Toward Restoring Soil Carbon and Organic Matter Pools in the Brazilian Semi‐Arid Region

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
ABSTRACT In Brazil, the semi‐arid region has undergone significant degradation due to deforestation for agriculture, livestock and the use of firewood. In this context, nature‐based solutions (NbS) that prioritize environmental sustainability in semi‐arid regions are crucial.
